Was it on purpose?? Was it contrived or a stunt gone astray? I have heard it said that she did it on purpose to re-build a fledging career or do a little Public Relations for an upcoming CD. I don?t know that her career was fledgling, but I will admit that it was certainly a shocker, that?s for sure. And it got her some attention. Looking at TV today, I am sure you will agree with me that something of this nature was bound to happen. It was inevitable! I have issues with the incident on many levels. That this happened in Black History Month was not lost on me. As a matter of fact it brought some thoughts to mind. I wish to tell all Black artists the following: * Keep your clothes on!! We do not need, nor do we want to see your body parts. This has got to stop! * Queens, you have too much talent, and are respected for said talent to have your clothes ripped off. You were not created to be a sex toy. * Kings, for you to expose yourself is disgusting and perverted. Stop it now!! * Keep your hands off our Sisters!! I don?t care how sexy you think it is to paw a Sistah, treat every Sistah as if she was one of your family members. * Clean up your stage shows, they are bordering on indecency. If I wanted to watch porn, I would probably opt to do it in the privacy of my home, not at a public concert. * Clean up your lyrics. Good Lord! I?m not as old as some may think, but some of the mainstream music of the youth is bordering on garbage ? expletive filled verbal porn! Being a serious lover of music and various genres of music, I am often exposed to Revolutionary of the youth and love it, for I can?t listen to that garbage on the radio too long. * Clean up your image and reputation! Your image or reputation will outlast you, by hundreds or thousands of years. How do you wish to be remembered? One should want to be remembered in a positive light, or favorably. One must be careful with one?s image or reputation. * Choose your actions, lyrics, clothes and stage show carefully ? it will be remembered long after you have become an ancestor. Tyree |
